Special Weeks

Special Bonus Weeks are short events, normally one or two weeks in length, which focus on a select group of missions for the duration of each term. Generally speaking, these sessions coincide with the release of newly-upgraded versions of older missions. While similar in setup to Mission Spotlights on the Xbox 360 servers, Special Bonus Weeks always have one or two bonuses attached to the spotlighted missions. The main bonus is always boosted EXP, but additional bonuses can include boosted MP and photon art EXP.
